Default RE: When does a bowhunter become a .....

, in our society, one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. So, until you are convicted of a crime in court, you can not be a criminal
So I guess if I spotlight a few deer and leave them lay then I am not a poacher unless I am convicted??????????

So "Any violation of law while in the pursuit of game is considered "poaching" (your words) but your not a criminal until you're convicted????????


In my eyes you are not a criminal and I am not a poacher. My point is that people shouldn't be so quick to judge others. Also, people should be a little more open minded in the way they look at things because no matter how you prefer to look at it, there is no difference in the two scenarios that I have been discussing
I can't figure out how you justify in your mind that anyone that breaks a game law is a poacher but anyone that breaks any other law is innocent until proven guilty. Also, I can't figure out how you justify saying that anyone that breaks a game law is a poacher but when you break the law, you're not a criminal.
